The Super Walmarts here sell the sliced to order pimento cheese. I've
never seen or even heard of pimento cheese spread before... but I
gotta say shredded cheese blendded with mayo sounds disgusting,
pimento or no pimento. Actually I thought it was something made up at
home by rednecks. My favorite homemade pimento cheese is creamcheese
mixed with chopped pimento stuffed olives, add enough evap it makes a
great chip dip. Creamcheese blended with mayo sounds Super
Disgusting. I think mayo with any cheese is TIAD. I enjoy a ham n'
swiss w' mustard but definitely hold the mayo.
